just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if its a normal thing or what?? in the rear quarter panels of my car on both sides i have one dent or dimple i guess that is pretty noticeable. i havent dented my car before, ever! and i have no other dents in the car anywhere. just wondering what this is caused by or if anyone has this. is it just me?? could it be from stress on the rear??

good question. i have a small crease right above the right rear wheel well, about two inches tall. never knew it was there, but it really doesn't look like somebody hit it. anybody enlighten us?

It is called body flex.

Got them here as well. Sub Frame connectors will help prevent them a little.

I've got some too, but mine are from hail.

Get some SFC's. I've seen some really bad ones in the quarters of some local guy's cars who launch hard and don't have SFC's.

I have two on my right rear fender above the tire. After I installed aftermarket panhard ros, LCA's, and H/D Bilstein's, it seems it's OK now. When I chnaged my panhard rod form the stock one, I noticed that my stock panhard rod was actually bent ... not warped ... BENT!

Subframe connector's will go on next ... mainly to stop little nosies associated with body flex. SFC' would prob be your best bet to do first.

Some members believe that SFC's don't do anything other than add weight. Take that for what it's worth...

I put them on before I hit 20k miles

i don't see you getting dents/ripples with a stock z28 (if that's what you have)

It will happen over time. I've seen it on lid/catback cars.

is that soo..i thought you would need quite a bit more power...mine doesn't have any of that and it has 100k miles on it...although it does have an aftermarkey panhard rod and sfc's

It just depends how the car is driven I suppose. I've seen some REALLY dimpled cars too, and they are ABUSED (in a good way) at the track (autox mostly).

Ya thats funny...Cuz somehow my car has them too, from when i bought my car from DMNSPD...Wonder how they got there ? Any ideas Steve? LOL

I just noticed the same on my car, only 1 though, drivers side. All my car has perf wise is lid/bellow and cat-back. It's just appeared within last 3-4 weeks. Never done a track run- couple hard launches here and there though!

Are you guys getting this near the wheel opening or up higher near the antenna? Because I have a crease near the antenna that I thought was a dent from some sort of impact.

Mine too, 2 inches on drivers side.

I noticed them on the driver's side of my car right above the rear wheel only a few months after I drove my car off of the lot. Didn't realize what caused it until I got on this site. I never drove the car real hard or did anything that should have caused it, but it's definitely there.

Can you fix these dimples?
